"   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 4/4 "...knows exactly what to show and what to let us imagine."   NutzWorld   Blake French B+ "a deliberative film, not an action film"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "Moody, perverse, and full to busting with metaphorical cautions, Frailty makes the most of its ambiguous title."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/4 "Frailty is dark, disturbing, twisted, thought-provoking, and probably one of the most well crafted and profound films to come out of Hollywood in the recent past."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes C "It's all surface psychodramatics."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "A consistently involving experience, but the ending really does let down every that came before it."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "The film plays out like a big-screen spin-off of "The Simpsons" starring Ned, Rod and Todd Flanders."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C "...actually misleads you into thinking it's good."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- "A nearly perfect genre piece...ingenious, lovingly crafted and genuinely creepy."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Although Frailty may not be a complete success, it offers ample evidence that Paxton could have a career in the director's chair."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "much more than just a horror film, it is an exploration of the relationship between humankind and God"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Actor Bill Paxton's directorial debut is a stark horror film full of surprises -- and genuine scares."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "[God] ought to sue Bill Paxton for defamation of character."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen D "Frailty contains all the trappings of the Gothic murder story without any sense of irony, complexity, or graveyard creepiness."   Matinee Magazine   Jeremiah Kipp 6/10 "Decent if disturbing, but not quite as effective as it could and should have been."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 9/10 "This is one disturbing movie, folks. It aims to creep you out, and it delivers on all sides."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "A slick, creepy little film that should do well for the careers of Paxton (as a director and an actor), debut screenwriter Brent Hanley and, most of all, youngster O'Leary."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 5/5 "My mind is frail after watching this movie."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 1.5/5 "Some good ideas went into the meat grinder, but what came out was largely uninteresting absurdist mush."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery "Not much better than your average straight-to-video B-movie. "   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B "Bill Hanley's prescient script features a man on an apocalyptic mission from God tailor made for 2002... "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "A psychological thriller with a genuinely spooky premise and an above-average cast, actor Bill Paxton's directing debut is a creepy slice of gothic rural Americana."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "Haunting and challenging to the mind, the conscience, and many preconceived notions. It’s already easily one of the year’s best films."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/4 "The concept behind Frailty is terrifying, but the ending ruins the movie"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "Damned creepy. It sends a shiver up my spine just thinking about the movie."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "One of the most unsettling horror films in recent memory."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4.5/5 "Grim and dark, but also endlessly inventive and shocking."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "This is one of the creepiest and most disturbing movies I've ever seen."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/5 "Feels like Sling Blade rewritten at a crawl by Stephen King."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "'Frailty" starts out like a typical Bible killer story, but it turns out to be significantly different (and better) than most films with this theme."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 5/5 "I don't know if Frailty will turn Bill Paxton into an A-list director, but he can rest contentedly with the knowledge that he's made at least one damn fine horror movie."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "You ... get a sense of good intentions derailed by a failure to seek and strike just the right tone."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 3.5/4 "I've always thought that a warning label should be placed on the Good Book."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 9/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf B Read review   EricDSnider.com   Eric D.
